Chapter 1377: Chapter 540: Traversing a Thousand Miles Just to Spend the New Year with My Daughter! Xiaoqi’s New Year’s Eve—So Difficult!

As an in-store management trainee, Xiao Dong is a key person developed by Shu Yun, and she is increasingly giving people a sense of warmth and comfort.

When the branch opens, she has a big chance of becoming the front desk manager.

Other waitstaff and several leading chefs in the kitchen, as well as Xu Xinhua from the roasted goods department, heard that Dou Wenjing’s parents were coming to Beijing for the New Year, and they all came over to say hello.

This is not only because Dou Wenjing is the general manager of the company, but more importantly, her parents traveled nearly two thousand miles to Beijing to accompany their daughter for the New Year, which touched everyone deeply.

Dou Wenjing handed the yellow millet jujube cake made by the kitchen to her parents, who were still a bit unaccustomed:

"You probably haven’t had much to eat on the way, right? Try this, it’s my favorite snack at the store, I have to eat several every day."

Father Dou advised upon hearing:

"Can you just eat these? Be careful not to let the boss see, or you’ll be fined."

"In our store, everything is free to eat; the boss is very nice and won’t fine us."

While Dou Wenjing was telling her parents about Lin Xu, the store door opened, and Chen Yan, wearing a red down jacket and a red knit hat, walked in:

"It’s freezing outside, Shu Baobao, our family’s private room is booked, right? Today I’ll have dinner with my family first, then come down to join you guys... Little Doudou, my hands are so cold, let me warm them up quickly..."

Shu Yun smiled and said:

"Dou’s parents came to Beijing to accompany her for the New Year, and we’re quite envious."

Chen Yan, upon hearing this, immediately came over to greet them. She asked Dou Wenjing:

"Do Uncle and Aunt have a place to stay? I have a platinum card for Hilton, how about getting a suite?"

Dou Wenjing shook her head:

"No need, they can stay at my apartment, it’ll be just right for my parents to see where I live in Beijing."

Chen Yan didn’t insist and continued:

"Then quickly make a reservation on WeChat for tickets to the Imperial Palace, take Uncle and Aunt to walk around Beijing properly these days."

"Yes, yes, I’ll reserve now."

Having finished the business, Chen Yan took out her phone and said:

"That damn Yueyue is provoking me in the group again, they even bought 100,000 yuan worth of fireworks to set off in the scenic area. It’s infuriating, if it were closer, I’d drive over and light the fireworks while they’re eating..."

Shu Yun is familiar with the love-hate relationship between the boss lady and Yan Baobao, she smiled and said:

"Just wait, during our New Year’s dinner we’ll get our revenge..."

Chen Yan pouted:

"Forget it, we can’t compete with them in fireworks... Tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner on the first floor will be more sumptuous, charge the excess to my card, let’s make it lively tonight."

After saying this, she thudded upstairs to sit in the private room for a while, planning to contact a certain Zeng who went home for the New Year.

If you go home and don’t proactively report to the boss, are you planning to clean toilets after the New Year?

Su Bei.

The Zeng Family’s New Year’s Eve dinner just started.

Zeng Xiaoqi’s parents and elders were increasingly pleased looking at the table full of dishes prepared by Qi Siming.

Skilled, good-looking, plus he has a car and a house in Beijing, truly a good match for our little Qiqi.

"Come on, Little Qi, let me fill your glass, you’ve come to visit us, and we’re making you cook, that’s somewhat impolite of us as elders."

Father Zeng opened a bottle of Wuliangye and poured it full into Qi Siming’s glass without needing to be told.

Tea should be shallow, wine should be full.

To fill the glass full is the greatest respect for guests.

Qi Siming smiled and said:

"That’s my one skill, cooking is what I should do, as long as Qiqi is happy, I’d cook for a lifetime without any complaint..."

Sitting beside them, Director Zeng’s face instantly showed a blissful expression.

It turns out bringing a boyfriend home for New Year can be so joyful, no wonder the boss lady loves to flaunt her affection, now I just want to show off too.

Zeng Xiaoqi’s uncle laughed heartily, looking at Qi Siming, and asked:

"Little Qi, I heard you’re the head chef at Yanjing Restaurant? Qiqi’s cousin, my little Wu, knows a bit about cooking too, can you arrange..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Zeng Xiaoqi said:

"No, Little Wu knows nothing, plus he likes drinking, causing trouble, fighting and causing disturbances, so it’s unfeasible to arrange."

Director Zeng knew little Wu’s character better than anyone.

So there was no room for negotiation; he refused outright.

Uncle’s face showed some dissatisfaction, and he mumbled:

"Indeed, daughters always side with outsiders, wait until your parents grow old, see if you can rely on our little Wu..."

"Bang!"

Zeng Xiaoqi smashed the bowl in front of her onto the ground:

"Rely on your son for what, rely? Do you even count on him? Have you repaid the millions in online loans? Get out get out get out! This is my family, stop imposing your patriarchal nonsense on me! My parents’ retirement is cared for by me, none of your business!"

She had heard such talk countless times since she was little.

It’s always about how your family doesn’t have a boy, our son will take care of your parents when they grow old.

Now, in front of her boyfriend, this uncle is mumbling here again, making Zeng Xiaoqi unable to tolerate it.

This scene left the whole family stunned.

Zeng Xiaoqi’s uncle’s face turned red and white, wanting to get up and leave, but also wanting to cling to Qi Siming to arrange a job for his son.

Qi Siming was originally somewhat averse to nepotism; seeing his girlfriend angry, he sincerely told Father Zeng:

"Uncle, Aunt, rest assured about retirement. You have me in your retirement, just as I treat my own parents, I will treat you two in the future, you have a daughter and a son-in-law, no need to rely on others for retirement."

After saying this, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the liquor inside in one gulp.

Having spoken to this extent, Zeng Xiaoqi’s uncle, angrily, stood up, led his wife and children out, with their little Wu glaring at Qi Siming fiercely when exiting.

The other elders exchanged glances and also stood up to leave, their intention was to use connections to arrange jobs in Beijing too.

Seeing this scene, they didn’t even bother to pretend.

After everyone left, the family was silent when Chen Yan opened the call:

"Little Qiqi, how does it feel to bring your boyfriend home for New Year? You haven’t bubbled up in the group, if you dare not believe, I’ll let you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zeng Xiaoqi said tearfully:

"Yan Baobao, I’m so upset..."

Because Ren Jie was on duty and feeling idle, Chen Yan abruptly sat up:

"What’s going on? Crying on New Year? Did your Knight bully you?"

"No, it’s not him..."

Zeng Xiaoqi got up to the next room, sobbing, telling the whole story, also recounting the various outrageous behaviors of her uncle’s family, making Lu Zhiyan, who detests injustice, immediately furious:

"It’s the 21st century, how come they’re still so patriarchal? Relying on nephews for retirement? That’s nonsense! Why not let your parents just come to Beijing, avoiding always being irritated at home!"

"They aren’t well-educated, can’t find jobs in Beijing, they definitely won’t agree."

Chen Yan said:

"Who says they can’t find work? Ginkgo Garden will need people after the New Year, as long as your parents aren’t unwilling, my brother-in-law would never reject such an arrangement, later on, we’ll supplement their social insurance and health insurance, absolutely solving everything without relying on anyone."

Zeng Xiaoqi’s eyes instantly brightened.

Yes, since here is all muddy, just take the parents out of it.

Nothing else, the job at Ginkgo Garden is something her parents definitely can manage, they’ll have food and drink, isn’t it better than being at home?

Her heart was filled with gratitude:

"Thank you, Yan Baobao, even though the boss lady is an E cup, in my heart, 34D is the largest!"
